I like to escape to the mountains. I have done it quite a bit more often in years past than I have this year. We usually go up a couple times in the summer but between football and cheerleading – we didn’t have much time to escape. Especially to those farther-out locations. So I was really taken aback when my daughter suggested we escape this fall break. I had a certificate to the Wort Hotel in Jackson Wyoming. I can’t wait to travel – and have my kids actually want to do it with me, rather than me having to drag them (kicking and screaming).
